Flow ~Art of Healing
Ardré runs FLOWpresso and bodywork sessions out of The Wellness Hub on Wallis Street in Raglan. Her Wix site was slow, hard to customise, and the bookings flow worked against her rather than for her. She wanted faster pages, better mobile, and to stay fully in control of her own content.

The brief
Ardré's modality — FLOWpresso, bodywork, energy work — is felt, not explained. Her existing Wix site couldn't carry that. Pages loaded slow enough that mobile visitors bounced before the homepage finished. Booking pushed people through a flow nobody asked for. And she'd been told that switching meant losing control of her own content.
Key decisions
Keep the domain, drop the platform. flowdomenz.com stays. Visitors don't notice the migration. What changes underneath is everything: page weight, mobile speed, how easy it is to edit.
Stay in control. The hard line was: I want to update my own site. The new editing surface is simpler than Wix but covers the same ground — text, photos, hours, testimonials, blog posts. Changes go live in under a minute. Anything structural is one email away.
No lock-in. The site, the content, the domain — all stay hers. If she ever wants to leave, she takes everything with her. There's nothing to extract because it was always already hers.
Bookings that work. Wix's booking flow gets replaced with a Stripe-based one connected to her existing account. Cal.com handles scheduling. The path from "I want a session" to a confirmed booking is short enough to use on a phone, one-handed.
Where it stands
Build is done. Mobile is being finalised. Stripe is wired to her existing account. Go-live is days away, with the domain switch designed for zero downtime.
“I'm truly grateful for your support and am looking forward to seeing my website flourish with your expertise, creativity and time.”
Key decisions
- 01Keep `flowdomenz.com` domain — zero downtime for visitors, the URL she already promotes.
- 02Editor dashboard that's simpler than Wix but does the same job: text, photos, hours, blog posts go live in under a minute.
- 03Stripe replaces Wix's native booking — Ardré's existing Stripe connects directly, nothing to re-onboard.
- 04Page load target under 1 second on mobile, where most of her bookings come from.
- 05Monthly content + Google Business Profile work targeting the searches that actually convert ('FLOWpresso Raglan', 'lymphatic drainage NZ').
